I found this place from a link on a blade message board I frequent. So tonight at work I dug around in my bag and came up with some paracord and tried my hand at the braided sling Victor Escobar put up under Guides and Articles. I did the little 46cm sling. After hours I lobbed a piece of hard candy across the office. More often than not it went the general direction I intended (forward ). The pocket ended up a little small for golf balls, though. Maybe this weekend I can actually sling a rock. Lots of good info for a newbie, here.

    Greetings, SilverFoxKnows,                                                      
         Welcome to the forum! So after reading this website you have just made a sling and you are using it to hurl perfectly good candy, instead of EATING the candy. And you are slinging INSIDE an office?
         I can see that you will fit right in around here.    Welcome aboard!                                                                       .......Dan

I slung the candy after everybody else left for the night. Although I did make a little catapult out of a pencil holder, two pencils, two rubber bands and a plastic spoon. I lob the occasional candy corn at a coworker

I haven't had a chance to really sling anything with the braided sling and already I'm working on a second one. I found a piece of scrap leather and some silk cord. This one should hold bigger ammo.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome to the family, SFK. I think you're going to fit in just fine. We're a little weird, okay unique, and we're definitely different, but we're all good folk. Welcome! Keep practicing with those candies after hours, chief!
